NEW HAVEN &mdash; In 1948, soon-to-be <a href="http://www.addisonindependent.com/201608father-field-days-lucien-paquette-celebrate-his-100th-birthday">100-year-old Lucien Paquette</a> spearheaded a new event to educate the public about new farming technology and techniques.

NEW HAVEN &mdash; Addison County Forester Chris Olson is right outside the Kelly James Natural Resources Pavilion at the Addison County Field Days site answering questions about the different grades of timber lying felled outside the forestry area. Inside the pavilion, Green Mountain National Forest rangers Chris Mattrick and Holly Knox tell a young fellow in a green hat about how recreation in the Moosalamoo National Recreation Area has been on the rise the past several years.</p>

Outside, at the back of the Antique Farm Equipment demonstration area, brothers Josh Parks, 35, and Zak Parks, 30, are working on the engine of a 1938 McCormick-Deering tractor, trying to get it running. They&rsquo;ve been working on it since Sunday.</p>
<p>
They&rsquo;ve overnighted a head gasket from a specialty supply company. They&rsquo;ve replaced a valve, but it&rsquo;s still not running. Josh cranks hard at the hand crank at the front of the tractor. No go.</p>
<p>
The two men&rsquo;s expressions and focus on the task at hand are as intense as any brain surgeon&rsquo;s.</p>

Michealla Flint, 15, of Wolcott, leads Duke around and around as the 20-year-old Belgian draft horse powers one of the antique hay presses. They are part of ongoing demonstrations at the fair put on by the Green Mountain Draft Horse Association. At different times throughout the week, different teams of horses and drivers have harvested wheat and corn, plowed a field, pulled wagons around the fairground, and powered machinery.</p>

BRISTOL &mdash; After witnessing the action at last year&rsquo;s demolition derby at the Addison County Fair and Field Days, Ethan Heffernan decided it was time he entered<a href="http://www.addisonindependent.com/201508demo-derby-action-kicks-bang-wednesday"> a demolition derby </a>car of his own.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;I thought it was pretty entertaining and a good time, so I wanted to get in on it this year,&rdquo; the 22-year-old Bristol resident said. &ldquo;I got myself a car for 200 bucks and said, &lsquo;What the hell, why not?&rsquo;&rdquo;</p>

Not too far from the antique farm equipment and the draft horses, Peggy Lyons is in the Twist O&rsquo; Wool Guild&rsquo;s big, white tent, spinning thread.</p>
<p>
&ldquo;For me, the fair is the animals and the people,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;We love this new location because it&rsquo;s down by the horses and the machinery and the sheep. I organize the tent for the guild, and we get members volunteering. The fair is the best excuse in the world to sit and spin all day.&rdquo;</p>

NEW HAVEN &mdash; Among the new features at the 68th annual Addison County Fair &amp; Field Days next week will be a small item that many visitors won&rsquo;t even see &mdash; a new, more complex ticket.</p>
<p>
After a rash of fraudulent tickets cost the nonprofit that runs the fair almost $12,000 last year, organizers have taken steps to make sure it never happens again.</p>
